  I don’t have access to my old site anymore (eeverhar.wordpress.com), and I’ve since started a new WordPress site. I want to delete the old site completely (no posts, no longer using the URL, everything) and I’m not sure how to do this because I don’t have access to the original site. Is there a way that I can do this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there.

  It sounds like you would need to recover your account information so you can login to delete your site.

  If you lost your password, you can reset it here.

  Once you are able to login, you can delete your site permanently. To do this, ensure that you have removed any upgrades such as:

  1. Premium or Business Plan
  2. Custom Domain
  3. Domain Mapping
  4. Premium Theme
  5. Any other upgrade

  Once you have removed your upgrades, go to My Site(s) ->
  Settings

  At the bottom of the Settings page, select Delete your site permanently.

  More detailed instructions about site deletion can be found on this support page.

  I hope that helps. Cheers!
